How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Common problems we fix in Presthope
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We leave the room as we found it

Presthope: your questions answered
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What affects the price in Presthope
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Presthope. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Presthope as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
